Yes, we've been taking care of that when possible. Like always, you guys don't have to feel like you have work to do here. If you're tired of deleting those posts right now, don't worry about it. One of the reds will clean it all up ASAP anyway.
CAPTCHA isn't in the current version of UBB. We had the option in 7 and vB has it. But even then I'm not sure it would help. We're still dealing with a real person here. It may slightly slow him down at best.
There's honestly only so much we can do with someone who's determined like that. We could increase the flood check to make it harder to post a lot in a short period of time, and we can do the filter stuff. Beyond that, we'd have to try going after him in real life.
... legally of course.
